Thanks for putting this just as I was thinking. I don’t understand why so many
long irritating threads are devoted to putting down the “other guy”.
In addition it was not meant as a chance to tell us how we could have had this
freedom via a different method, i.e. a PC.

My point isn't that other platforms don't have their issues, but rather that
this thread was supposed to be about how beneficial Apple devices have been to
people since their introduction. I saw this as a feel good thread where people
could share their experiences on the greater independence they now have due to
the iPhone and related apps and services. I didn't see this as an opportunity
to knock every other platform out there. I use Windows, IOS, Linux and Android,
and although I know the limitations of the various platforms, I don't go out of
my way to find opportunities to knock each platform. As I said below, I can
appreciate everything Apple has done and the iPhone has done for me without
tearing down every other platform out there.

Lol. I'd actually love to be able to say with certainty, that Android and
Linux are wonderful platforms for the blind. I've used both for at least half
a year. I just don't subscribe to the notion that we should have to work around
every little inaccessible app made by Google, and use another desktop on Linux
because KDE is barely accessible now, and Gnome has a huge accessibility
problem, that you cannot change settings in the settings center. Imagine having
those problems on Apple products, mail, messages, TTS, and the keyboard being
inferior on iOS. Sure, third-party options, even Eloquence, but I love the fact
about Apple devices, that you can get along very well without even having to
buy that $13 onscreen braille keyboard on Android.

It's a shame this thread couldn't just be about everything that's good
about the iPhone but has to be used by some to bash anything not Apple. I can
certainly give Apple the credit it's do without bashing Microsoft, Google and
Linux. I guess some also just don't realize that when you trash a product you
don't choose to use yourself you're also putting down all of those people who
didn't make the same choice you did.

Gosh yes! And Android users have to pay like $12 for a braille keyboard
that is maintained and kept up to date... for now... lol. We get all these, the
vocalizer voices, and Apple's *high quality* Siri voices, all free!

One thing I completely forgot to mention in my earlier post is that
there are so many ways of inputting information into the phone, sending texts
or sending emails. One can use hand writing although since I’m totally blind I
don’t use that feature, still it’s available for those who might want to use
it. In adition, MBraille and the native Braille screen input, dictation, the
onscreen keyboard and using a separate Braille or quarty keyboard are all
available. It’s so very cool that apple provides options for all of these
methods.
God bless!
